Presents for gardeners are easy to find. Cards can be another matter. Scenes of flowers abound and you’ll often find something funny involving sheds, but otherwise really pretty, relevant cards can be few and far between.
Equally, while I’m usually just glad to find a uncreased piece of paper big enough to cover the gift, some people put as much thought into their giftwrapping as they do their cards. And it’s touching when you realise how much thought a friend has given to the whole birthday “package”.
I constantly intend to do better and have found a super range of cards and wrapping right on my doorstep. Even better, the cards only cost £1 (less when I buy ten or more), which is a bargain these days. I can now give birthdays a gardening theme from the card to the wrapping paper to the gift tag. I might even enclose a bookmark as well.
